Slice of life

So let's see, a bit about me? I've never done much writing about myself - wasn't able to keep a journal for more than a week or two at a time, never really blogged before... So I can't say that this will necessarily come out so well. Nonetheless, I couldn’t think of anything to complain about at the moment, so I figure I might as well offer proof that I’m not just some ornery old bastard.

See, the funny thing is, despite the impression you might have gotten from my Grammar rant, I’m actually quite the optimist. People can suck, but you can at least ignore the sucky ones.

Current life for me is good. I’ve been attending Warren County Community College for the last few years, where I’m having a great time (and managing to learn stuff while still doing well), and I’ll be graduating from there this coming May with my associate’s degree in communications. After that, I’ll be spending two years at Rowan to earn my bachelor’s, and then I’m hoping to get a job as a journalist.

I’m also the editor-in-chief of the WCCC newspaper, the Campus Racket, which basically entails writing a few articles and editing everything else. If you didn’t get it from my grammar rant, editing is my thing. Right now I’m working as a cashier – formerly a produce associate – at my local Shop Rite, which I actually enjoy quite a bit. You meet some interesting people there.

I have a little brother, David, who’s developing into quite the worthy tactician in Age of Empires and similar. I’ve got some great friends that I’ve known for years – my best bud Michael, who I’ve known since I was seven, and a number of other great people I’ve known almost as long, such as Maxine and Ben, my eternal gaming rival. I’ve been together in a long-term relationship with a great girl, Augusta, for the last several months. Augusta has been a great friend to me since I was about ten, and she is one of the rarest of all creatures on this earth – she plays Halo and Soul Calibur, people! And she’s actually GOOD!

So in summation; I like my job, I’m doing well in school, I have some great, loyal friends, and I’ve got a healthy relationship with an attractive girl who’s not only all-around awesome but who can also tolerate my neuroses. And people wonder how I can be optimistic about life!

Hmm. So there’s something of an introduction. Now if I mention any of this stuff later on, you’ll know what I’m talking about. Hopefully you have a better feeling for who I am. Always better in context, right?
